AFX Financials (FinTech)

Core Intent

AFX Financials is building the universal financial control protocol that makes "delay" and "user-defined control" native functions of money exchange, transforming how $17.5 trillion in annual e-commerce transactions are processed globally.

Business Vision

From Tool to Protocol: eCete is evolving from a consumer transaction delay tool into essential financial infrastructure - the foundational protocol layer for transaction control that works across all payment methods, merchants, and financial institutions.

Mission: Empower every individual, business, and institution with complete control over their financial transactions, creating a world where conscious spending, transparent commerce, and financial wellness are built into the infrastructure of money itself.

  • Target: $1 trillion in controlled transactions annually by 2030

Strategic Differentiation

Universal Protocol vs. Point Solution: Unlike traditional fintech apps, eCete is infrastructure-level technology that benefits the entire financial ecosystem through:

  • Network effects across all stakeholders
  • Regulatory alignment as consumer protection
  • First-mover advantage in transaction state management
  • Multi-stakeholder value creation (consumers, merchants, processors, banks all benefit)
Key Innovation

Making "Delay" a Native Payment State: Just as "Buy Now, Pay Later" created a new payment paradigm, eCete's "Buy Now, Decide Later" fundamentally changes consumer psychology - but without debt or credit risk, purely through user empowerment and control.
